A new report from the Business & Sustainable Development Commission shows that the next decade will be critical for companies to open 60 key market “hot spots”, tackle social and environmental challenges, and re-build trust with society.

The flagship report, Better Business, Better World, asserts that sustainable business models could open economic opportunities worth at least US$12 trillion, create 380 million jobs a year, and unleash a step-change in growth and productivity by 2030.

“We need to show these ideas work not just in a report but on the business frontline,” said Dr. Amy Jadesimi, CEO of LADOL and a member of the Commission.

The analysts say the integration facility, which has received many commendations from companies and government representatives across the global, is positioned to not only attract over $10 billion worth of investments into Nigeria in the next few years, but to also create engineering capacity and jobs for Nigerians and serve as source of foreign exchange for the economy.
